How do I know whether to revise or submit elsewhere? I wrote a few short stories over the past few years, and I have shared a few of these with beta readers and asked for feedback.

A: How to leverage social proof? The key is to establish a strong foundation first. Someone who is resistant to change will need to see why change is necessary, how it can be accomplished easily and cheaply, and then feel the pressure of "all the cool kids are doing it."
